Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 13 Dong Zhuofa's Family History
It can be said that in the era when Confucianism began to prevail in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo was an extreme alternative, and it was because of his alternative that he was extremely dangerous.

And his success has to be said to have a strong chance.At that time, there was great chaos in the capital, and the power struggle between relatives and eunuchs finally ended together, and there was a power vacuum in the court.After Dong Zhuo heard the great news of the day, he rushed to Luoyang City as fast as he could, and was lucky enough to meet the emperor of the Han family who had fled.

However, in Liu Xie's view, these accidental factors actually only pushed forward the process of Dong Zhuo's disaster.When these accidental factors were mixed with the political corruption at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the final result became inevitable.

After entering Luoyang, Liu Xie had already learned about Dong Zhuo's seizure of power from the history books of later generations.As a professional warrior, Dong Zhuo knows the truth that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.Just when the scholar-bureaucrats of the Manchu Dynasty were still celebrating that the two malignant tumors of foreign relatives and eunuchs were finally removed from the Eastern Han regime, Dong Zhuo's foreign disease was infiltrated into this dying body in a flip of his hands.

Dong Zhuo's method was actually very simple. He was so overjoyed that he didn't even delay for a day, and started to act with lightning speed, controlling the situation in less than a month.

The first step: Dong Zhuo considered that he had few soldiers and could not subdue the various factions in the capital, so he sent troops to quietly go to the vicinity of the barracks every four or five days at night, and the next morning he reorganized his army and returned with great fanfare, shouting all the way: " Reinforcements from Xiliang are coming again!" People thought that Dong Zhuo's soldiers were too numerous to count, and everyone was afraid.

The second step: and the most critical step, is to lure the He brothers trilogy.The reason why they were locked was because they were not under the control of the imperial court. Once the He brothers died, the soldiers under him would be leaderless.

How to seduce?It was not written in the history books, but with Dong Zhuo as a living being, Liu Xie got the answer almost effortlessly.The ease of the process made Liu Xie a little unbelievable, and at the same time made him even more suspicious of why Dong Zhuo would be so confiding in himself, and he didn't shy away from saying such outrageous words.

According to Dong Zhuo, following Li Ru's plan, he first used force to frighten him, and then used profit to lure him.For those warriors and big soldiers, it is nothing more than officials, money, and sex.He can promise these things to Dong Zhuo; moreover, Dong Zhuo still fulfilled them later, and the way he fulfilled them was the notorious "prison search"!
Hearing this, Liu Xie wished he could smash a wine bottle on Dong Zhuo's wildly laughing fleshy face, and the nails in his hands were deeply embedded in the flesh, and the pain penetrated into the marrow of the bone.But it may be because of drinking, the more emotional he is, the calmer he is after drinking.Liu Xie knew that as long as he showed any expression of dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo's atrocities at this time, all previous efforts would be in vain, and Dong Zhuo might do things that even Liu Xie regretted!
Judging from previous understanding, Liu Xie knew that Dong Zhuo would do that. He was ambitious, courageous, and behind him was the most sinister counselor in the early period of the Three Kingdoms!Dong Zhuo would not have the slightest sympathy for such a thing that put his bottom line at the beak.

He was cruel by nature, and he was born in the feudal Han Dynasty frontier area where human life was regarded as nothing, so there was no possibility of the two talking to each other.Not to mention, military power is the lifeblood of Dong Zhuo, in order to win over soldiers, he will do anything.

As a trilogy of generals, it has a relationship with the coach. When the coach dies, the He brothers’ trilogy loses its backing. According to the usual practice, it will be handed over to a new general, but is this new general reliable? It's hard to say, they are all in fear.Just when the court scholar-bureaucrats had not yet made a decision, Dong Zhuo, who had once swaggered in front of them, extended an olive branch to them.

As a private part, there is no court in his eyes, only interests. Since Dong Zhuo can guarantee their interests, what else is there to say?Fearful, they thought Dong Zhuo was also a warrior, and he was more reassuring than those noble scholar-bureaucrats in the court.So the trilogy of the He Brothers was soon attached.

It has to be said that the existence of Li Ru played a great role in promoting Dong Zhuo's critical period.And the third thing he asked Dong Zhuo to do directly created a new Dong Zhuo era.

The third incident is the well-known and familiar incident of Lu Bu killing Ding Yuan.When he said this, Dong Zhuo's tone was a little low. Obviously, Lu Bu's easy attachment was also a mystery to him.But no matter how you say it, Dong Zhuo was already very powerful at that time, and it was very much in his own interest for Lu Bu to take refuge in Dong Zhuo.Ding Yuan died, and the other generals of the Bingzhou Group had no choice—as warriors, they had nothing to do with the court officials and it was difficult to be accepted, so they had to take refuge in Dong Zhuo.

These three steps were done in just a few days at a very fast speed. By the time the scholars in the court reacted, it was too late, and Dong Zhuo had already controlled the situation in the capital.After that, Dong Zhuo wooed the Xiyuan Army again, but Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Chun Yuqiong and other generals all refused to leave, and Dong Zhuo took control of the Xiyuan Army again. So far, Dong Zhuo has all the military power in the capital.

Dong Zhuo's victory in this matter of snatching military power was still a little tricky.

First of all, the Young Emperor at that time was too young to be in power, and the Empress Dowager He who was in charge was a standard stupid girl who had lived in the deep palace for a long time without much knowledge.Under the feudal autocratic system, the operation of the government was entirely dependent on the imperial power. At that time, the imperial power was absent and could not be effectively exercised, which made the imperial court unable to take timely measures.

Secondly, at that time, there was no auxiliary minister with arbitrary power in the court, and the selection of auxiliary ministers by the scholars had to go through various procedures after weighing the interests of all parties, but Dong Zhuo did not give them time.Finally, there are the problems of the scholar-bureaucrats. They did not fully anticipate the danger, and they were limited to the scholar-officials' consistent thinking to solve the problem clearly in the court, and did not take extraordinary measures to stop Dong Zhuo.Therefore, the seemingly powerful imperial court and scholar groups were unable to effectively deal with possible dangers due to flaws in mechanisms and concepts.

In the first round of the contest, Dong Zhuo won the final victory.After picking the fruits of victory, what he will do next is naturally to consolidate his power.Therefore, he did something against the world's disgrace: abolish the emperor!

As the person involved, Liu Xie naturally knew about this.Therefore, he slowly turned the wine bottle in his hand, and asked in a calm and low tone: "This matter must have been caused by Li Wenyou's signal to the grand master again? This move is like a flying stone in the big court." Hit the water, whoever is convinced and who is not, you can tell at a glance, right?"

However, after hearing Liu Xie's words, Dong Zhuo showed a strange expression on his face.After taking a serious look at Liu Xie, he suddenly burst out laughing, as if he had heard the funniest lie in the world: "Your Majesty, you have already ascended to the ninth fifth position today, why do you keep this matter in the Wen You? Sure enough, after becoming the emperor, you have become more and more scheming..."

Liu Xie's mind exploded with a bang. On the first day of time travel, Liu Xie hadn't fully merged with the mind of this body.He never expected that he would be involved in the abolition of the Young Emperor.Moreover, according to Dong Zhuo, it seems that he is still the mastermind? !
Seeing Liu Xie's pale face and slightly swaying body, Dong Zhuo didn't take it seriously, but became even more contemptuous: "Since Your Majesty doesn't want the world to know about this, then a certain family will keep it until the moment it goes to the tomb. But, having said that, if there is no Your Majesty mentioned at the time that a certain family could not take over the government so smoothly... After this incident, every time a certain family thinks about it, it seems that the certain family is not the final winner, but you, your majesty, are secretly in control Master of everything!"

"Zhen, zhen...is he actually a ten-year-old child like Liu Xie?" Liu Xie, who was trembling slightly while holding the wine bottle, murmured a few words to himself nervously, then suddenly grabbed Dong Zhuo's sleeve robe and repeated loudly: "You said that it was I who abolished the young emperor and finally ordered you to force the young emperor to death?!"

Dong Zhuo's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he stood up and threw Liu Xie's hand, all of them sarcastically said: "Since your Majesty said it, it wouldn't be you if it wasn't you... A certain family will bring this secret to you until death." In the middle of the tomb, why does Your Majesty have to be so hypocritical!"

Liu Xie's hands slumped down from the sky, his eyes still had disbelief, and he could only murmur in his heart: This end of the Han Dynasty is really not the era that the world thinks it is familiar with...
